These are published routes that organize the traffic flow into and out of busy airspace. These are used when flying on an IFR flight plan and will not be used when you are flying VFR.

@@TheFlyingSalesman ok gotcha, thanks

Thanks, I am glad you were able to glean something from it. Blue skies!

I am glad you found it helpful...

And its even on the checklist.... SMH

I understand that. Have you looked into Garmin's Plane Sync? I am not sure if it is Android compatible or not.

That's fantastic. I do make it there a couple times a year.

The lifters were not spinning like they were supposed to and it took awhile for the mechanic to get to it.

Me too! We have some pics to take.

@TheFlyingSalesman Yes we do! Looking forward to it

Me too! Thank you for the vote of confidence.

I think you have me mixed up with another TH-camr... My issue is corrosion in the cylinders. I did notice a lack of power recently and my flight yesterday with the new lifters seemed to help. I am happy to discuss further and you are welcome to send me an email. info@theflyingsalesman.com

I have to do the same thing! I hope you will check it out.

Excellent news!!

@@budowens6478 thank you!

@@zappatx my hands are full right now! Thanks for letting me know.

@@jamesclifford5351 thanks! I take it you are familiar?

@@TheFlyingSalesman yes ! Fly out of krvs and kgcm

Thank you very much! Luke is doing better now and we never did get a diagnosis. He was getting a high fever every 6-weeks for almost a year. We are thankful for answered prayers and unanswered questions. My wife and I are grateful to everyone who has reached out, offered prayers and pulled for Luke. Thank you again from both of us. -Matt

@@holylee30 it depends on the airport. If ground control does not direct you to a specific place, then it is at the approach end, but not the hold short line. I may get close but will leave my self enough room to 180 out if the run up reveals something that scrubs the flight. What is your preference?

I am very selective about my IMC flights as well for that very reason. It is serious business that needs to be respected.

I appreciate it! I hope to be up and flying again next week so please stay tuned!

Train, train, train. Never stop training. Thanks for watching and coming along. -TFS

@@TheFlyingSalesman Thank you for the great content and education good sir

I use lightworks to edit. I. Chose it because it was supposed to be good for beginners. If I were to make a recommendation, go ahead and learn premier pro because so many people are using it, you can collaborate on new techniques.

@@TheFlyingSalesman Thank you! One last quick question. How do you keep your cameras charged? My GoPro battery dies after 45 minutes. Are you simply plugging your camera into a portable charger?

@@mustangaviation8882 I use an Anker power bank on extended flights. I also have extra batteries if needed.

@@brockmolander ~450 and xc…

Ugh! that sounds terrible!

@@TheFlyingSalesman It was terrible!! engine shop took about 14 months and then the mechanic took 7 months for the reinstall, long story, there were times I felt like my soul was leaving my body haha. Thanks for all you do on your channel really enjoyable and educational, good luck getting everything fixed up.

@@larrymaloney877 sounds like you are familiar with this?

@@TheFlyingSalesman Basic physics. In a 24-hour weather cycle, the temperature difference causes warm air to cool after sundown & moisture droplets to form. Just like the morning dew on the grass, it forms inside engines. Starting the engine & BRINGING IT UP TO OPERATING TEMPERATURE (even if you don't fly) keeps the moving parts cleaned & coated with lubricant. Oil might need changing even more during periods of idleness; the same moisture on the cylinder walls & lifters collects in the oil. Some oils stick to metal parts better. Synthetics, like Mobile 1 (automotive only) are optimal for coating parts. But may not be formulated for aviation gas. To get up to speed on oil choices, check out this article: Engine Lube 101: Weight, Temps, Analysis Still, start the engine and bring it up to temperature as a maintenance procedure. Or, maybe fly more often (shorter trips but the same hours).

@@TheFlyingSalesman hahahaha

We (myself, A&P, and engine shop) have discussed this at great length. New lifters and old cam is not uncommon. Both the A&P and Engine shop were in agreement as to next steps.

Thanks@@billgalante1181 we will be back in the air soon.

@@airplaneenvydiy9913 amen!

@@aviatortrucker6285 Wilco! Thanks for watching.

Full synthetic and leaded fuel do not get along.

@@prodigalpilot well they have a semi synthetic, which is ashless desperant , and should be OK because it is approved for aviation use. I just never liked monograde oils.

@@747FoSophie that’s awesome! How were the winds?

@@mattmitcham820 thanks for watching and thank you for your business!

@@davewilliams639I really like the scenarios.

@@KennethMillsTours you are welcome! Tell me more about your tours…

Thank you very much! I am about to drop an update on the 210 later today and HOPEFULLY, will be back in the cockpit in the next week or two. Nevertheless, I appreciate the sub and I hope you enjoy the content. -TFS

Not unless it is sunny and we are on the ramp. If you want to know why I am wearing them on video, it is because my eyes sometimes wonder to the "B" camera and I feel it is distracting for the viewers to see my eyes shifting. I am still trying to get the hang of all this and filming in the hangar is just a stop gap until I can get back in the plane. It is for the same reason I like to wear sunglasses in the plane by the way. A lot of the time when I am talking in the plane, my eyes scanning the panel and outside can be distracting. The sunglasses mask a lot of this. I hope you enjoy the videos despite the sunglasses and I appreciate you reaching out. Blue skies! -TFS

@@TheFlyingSalesman not likely I am your target audience- old school- I don’t watch videos of people talking while driving or flying because they think it’s cool and they are entertaining. Different if they are demonstrating something. Or highly edited. But it’s your channel so do what you want.

@@LukeKirk1113 I don’t agree. It is up to each instructor to decide for their student. However, you can’t coddle a pilot into the cockpit. If you are at 20, and especially 30 hours of STEADY training (if the student is not flying enough, that’s on them), then there need to be adult conversations about next steps.

@@TheFlyingSalesman dude the average time to get PPL right now is 60-70 hours. And there’s a huge problem of bad instructors who are producing dangerous pilots. I think it’s blatantly irresponsible to send a student who barely understands how to control the plane out solo. Obviously it’s up to the individual student and instructor, I’ve soloed someone at 15-16 hrs but they were not the typical student. It’s statistically normal to take more that the minimum time to be ready, which broadly speaking is probably a good thing. Outside of your example of that dirtbag CFI.

@@LukeKirk1113 This is an interesting topic that I want to explore further- Are you willing to email me so we can talk further? info@theflyingsalesman.com

@@richsammons3060 you are correct. This is where my “old school” shows itself. I just do the math and not push the buttons.

@@mnflyin5549 “sigh” I know…. I will do better. Thanks for watching and coming along.

@@malibujack4852 how do you like the -46?

@@TheFlyingSalesmanAbsolutely love it. Pressurization is a game-changer that gets you up and over most of the weather most of the time. Family loves traveling in it. We hardly ever take commercial airlines now unless we are going internationally.

@@waynelakey6573 that’s great! Get after it. Thanks for watching.

It's addictive!

It makes it easy on MY pocket book but I do ride for the brand and hate that we have unforeseen expense. We will know more on Monday....
